+API-dok
+=======
+
+Work in progress.
+
+There are two relevant paths: /api/public and /api/private. One requires
+user-login in, the other does not.
+
+General: All end-points that output time-based data accept the "now=<time>"
+argument, where, <time> is YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss. E.g:
+
+GET /api/public/switch-state?now=2015-04-02T15:00:00
+
+There is no guarantee that the data is exact time-wise, thus each endpoint
+should also output relevant time stamps.
+
+Currently error handling sucks.
+
+This document is in no way complete, but it's a start. It will be updated
+as time permits and API's stabilize.
+
+Public
+......
+
+Use URL https://nms-public.tg16.gathering.org/api/public
+
+/api/public/dhcp
+----------------
+
+Methods: GET
+Update frequency: every second or so.
+
+Used to report time since last dhcp lease.
+
+/api/public/dhcp-summary
+------------------------
+
+Methods: GET
+Update frequency: every second or so.
+
+Used to report dhcp lease stats. Both recent stats, and total stats.
+
+/api/public/ping
+----------------
+
+Methods: GET
+Update frequency: every second or so.
+
+Used to report linknet latency.
+
+The switch latency is being integrated into switch-state.pl and linknet
+latency will similarly be moved.
+
+/api/public/switches
+--------------------
+
+Methods: GET
+Update frequency: Infrequent (on topology/config changes)
+
+List all switches and map positions.
+
+Used to draw switches on a map and provide static information.
+
+/api/public/switch-state
+------------------------
+
+Methods: GET
+Update frequency: Every second
+
+Provides state for each switch, including total port speed, uplink port
+speed, latency and temperature.
+
+
+Private
+.......
+
+/api/private/comment-add
+------------------------
+
+Methods: POST
+
+Add a comment
+
+/api/private/comment-change
+---------------------------
+
+Methods: POST
+
+Note that comments are never really deleted, but the state can be set to
+deleted, making sure they are never shown.
+
+/api/private/comments
+---------------------
+
+Methods: GET
+
+Update frequency: on user input
+
+Lists comments.
+
+/api/private/snmp
+-----------------
+
+Methods: GET
+
+Update frequency: Every few seconds, based on SNMP data.
+
+Returns full SNMP-data, split into two trees. 'misc' and 'ports'.
+
+
+/api/private/switches-management
+--------------------------------
+
+Methods: GET
+
+Update frequency: Infrequent (on topology/config changes)
+
+List management information for switches.
+
+/api/private/switch-add
+-----------------------
+
+Methods: POST
+
+Add or update switches, supports same format as tools/add_switches.txt.pl
+
+Accepts an array of switches.
+
+Magic: If you set placement to be "reset", it will re-calculate placement
+based on sysname. For new switches, this is redundant as an empty
+placement-field will trigger the same behavior.
